This thread started with Bill Carlson asking for support and financial help for the bear hunters in Maine. There is always a certain percentage of hunters that agree with parts of any anti hunting referendum. We all know about divide and conquer. Is there anyone that doesn't realize these referendums are written with the intent to do exactly that?
This reminds me of the bear hunting referendum in Colorado that passed years ago. That vote stopped all spring bear hunting, all running with dogs, all types of baiting , and even banned any use of scents. The sad part of it was, over 20 percent of hunters agreed with certain parts of the referendum and voted with the anti's. If not for that 20 percent, the referendum would have failed. Not saying the posters from Michigan would vote that way but the trespassing troubles mentioned kind of highlights a problem if such a referendum were held there. Maybe Michigan lawmakers should be approached about changing the law on trespassing.
One thing for sure, as hunters we need to all stick together as we should know the consequences.
